Fantastic short and sweet guide! Thanks!

[@JaffaryS]

Fantastic. Best instructions so far simple straight forward to understand abd follow. Instructions are generic for most chain saw. Thank you.

[@FerociousSniper]

I never thought to stick it under the clutch because I learned on Stihls. Thanks for the tip!

I’m failing at step one. What is the chain break and why won’t the black thing come off when I took the nuts off?

[@ECHOTools]

Hi Lisa, the chain break is the big black lever at the front of the saw. When it is pushed forward it is engaged and prevents the chain from moving, pull it back to disengage it before you attempt to remove the side cover. Make sure the nuts are completely loosened, you may need to pull quite firmly to remove the cover.

Don’t turn on its side. Place it on a table close to the edge, and take it apart as shown, sharpen, clean what ever.. then just slide it back on. The studs will hold the bar and you can put the chain on without having to hold the bar or have the bar fall from nose weight. This is so much easier. Also get foil tape and cover the outside hole on the bar to allow more oil to stay in the chain groove. 😊

Appreciate the feedback!

Gracias muy amable y buena explicación 🎉❤

[@JaffaryS]

Most chain saws can have multiple size cuttings chains as long as you have the guide bar and chain to match.

[@ToddAdams1234]

You’re correct. This is a demo for EXTREMELY newbie saw peeps. I’ve never seen anything this basic or ever even heard of it! 😮

[@gavinarredondo4003]

Just drove to home depot to get a new chain. Saw your video while in the store and left right away 😂

[@ItsMe-ic7on]

When you first buy it is it already put together?

[@ECHOTools]

Thanks for your question. Saws are packed with bar and chain disassembled. However, Chainsaws are mostly bought from dealerships, where the dealer (an expert) should assemble and thoroughly check the saw before sale.

[@edwinkhaphathi9054]

Wow,it helped me alot,I thought I hv to sharpen the chain,while install it other way around,teeth wer facing back,I didn't know till I watch this video,thanks alot

[@ECHOTools]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@JGsgarage_unboxings]

Question? I have an echo dcs -5000 can it power a larger bar? Like a 20 inch

[@ECHOTools]

Thanks for your question. The largest recommended bar on the DCS-5000 is 18 inch.

[@Ruf-Art-by-Tim]

Can I replace a stud for the Clutch cover. It snapped off from my Echo Battery saw. PS. I'm Unemployed Cancer Survivor, whom took up Chainsaw Carving for Stress relief. So I've put chains on a thousand times over the last 2.5 yrs

[@ECHOTools]

Thanks for your message. Have you taken the saw into your local ECHO dealer?

[@boioh5453]

Great video

[@Cd_Juarez817]

I have the same chainsaw 16 inch, can i put an 18 inch bar and chain?

[@ECHOTools]

Hi, this is the ECHO CS-4010 - yes, it can run an 18 inch bar. What model do you have?

[@Cd_Juarez817]

Cs-3510

[@ECHOTools]

@@Cd_Juarez817 CS-3510 is only compatible with 12, 14 or 16 inch bars.

[@ECHOTools]

@4LOKRANJAN The correct chain size is usually printed on the side of the bar. Example: 3/8” (pitch) and .050” (gauge) with 72 drive links.

[@DamienBang]

My chain break won't move

[@BikasGurung-zi2cg]

Very good 👍

[@dannyevans2201]

I can’t believe that’s a real chainsaw 😂 I thought it was a kids toy at first

[@marx0matko]

My brake got stuck 😂

[@lisaguerra6253]

The clutch cover isn’t coming off.

[@CMGoofs]

That’s my grandpa
